our chief foreign correspondent richard engel is from our bureau in kabul. richard, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian. first off, the american staff sergeant accused of killing over the weekend 16 afghan civilians has been flown out of the country awaiting court-martial. arriving in afghanistan today was the defense secretary leon panetta. he is safely in kabul. i say safely because earlier in the day there was a brief incident which an afghan man set himself on fire on the runway as secretary panetta's plane was coming in to land. like the president today, the defense secretary had one main message during this visit and that was stay the course. continue the program to withdraw gradually the remaining 90,000 u.s. troops in this country over the next two years. the problem is many people in afghanistan have doubts about the current course. doubts about president karzai, doubts about the afghan security forces, and frankly, doubts about what can be accomplished over the next two years that hasn't happened over the last ten. >> richard engel from
